“…These variables form the context in which work is done. Any international plan should not only be internationalized or globalized but also reflect the suitable features and expectations of the local and national community [24]. Due to excellent recognition of the external environment, they can help organization boost its performance [12][21] [15].…”

Abstract-In 2016, the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, the Directorate General of Islamic Education, and the Directorate of Islamic Higher Education, established a policy namely Strategic Management System (SMS). All colleges have to implement the system. But, the speculation that the policy wouldn't be continued appeared. This study aims to uncover the causes and to investigate the implementation progress and the effectiveness of the policy and its programs. The study used qualitative methods, including analysis of documents, interviews and observations. The results show that the Directorate of Islamic Higher Education has executed several stages i.e. 1) socializing; 2) mapping, and 3) rating. The components and the indicators are excellent to boost the colleges' performances as the first step of internationalizing Indonesian Islamic higher education. The Strategic Management System policy and its programs also give new perspective on Islamic educational management studies in which it is not only necessarily based on scriptures but also actual phenomena in Islamic education institutions.

“…This has translated into the active development of strategies, policies, programmes and infrastructure that has made many universities into institutions that take internationalisation seriously. A variety of internationalisation policies and practices have been employed and developed in HEIs, on their home campuses and abroad, to implement their internationalisation plans, such as recruiting international students (Cudmore 2005;Mosneaga and Agergaard 2012;Huang, Raimo, and Humfrey 2016), internationalising the curriculum (Haigh 2002;Luxon and Peelo 2009;Ardakani et al 2011;Magne 2015;Pandian, Baboo, and Mahfoodh 2016), promoting international research mobility (Attila and Andrea 2009;Jacob and Meek 2013), integrating international students and promoting intercultural capabilities (Stier 2006;Miller 2014), and the opening up of branch campuses in other countries which are designed to attract students who are not able to travel overseas for education (Wilkins and Huisman 2012;"Overseas Branch Campuses" 2015;Wilkins and Huisman 2015;Shams and Huisman 2016).…”

The internationalisation of higher education, which has developed from a number of separate initiatives to become a strategic objective in its own right, has not been investigated from a strategic organisational perspective. Case studies of four English universities were developed via a Grounded Theory methodology. Mintzberg and Waters' [1985. "Of Strategies, Deliberate and Emergent." Strategic Management Journal 6 (3): 257-272] 'deliberate' and 'emergent' strategies were used to analyse the trajectories of the international strategies of the case study universities. It was found that the international strategies were deliberate in each strategic period, whereas they were emergent over a longer time frame. Internationalisation has gone through three phases, as the approaches of universities to this phenomenon have matured and progressed from operational to strategic. A conceptual model which describes the trajectory of the international strategies of these English universities is developed and is a major addition to the internationalisation literature. Future research should examine the applicability of the model to other countries.

“…Third, internationalization yields new perspectives in terms of quality assurance within universities (Bordean & Borza, 2013). At the national level, Ardakani, Yarmohammadian, Abari, and Fathi (2011) claimed that internationalization is an efficient strategy to fulfill the various needs of the international community. This is considered from the national economic perspective.…”

Due to the dramatic increase of higher education institutions during the past decades, senior high school students in Taiwan have enjoyed easier access to higher education than never before. On the other hand, colleges and universities are facing unprecedented competition on recruitment of students with the tendency of fewer children worsening year after year. To cope with this challenge, internationalization has become an important strategy to attract students both from abroad and domestically. Because domestic students still constitute the main part of the student body in each college and university so far, it is important to understand how senior high school students perceive internationalization of higher education. The purpose of this study is to investigate senior high school students' perceptions of internationalization in colleges and universities in Taiwan, which can be put into consideration by staff of higher education sectors looking for strategies to boost the sustainability and competitiveness in higher education institutions. Eight senior high school students were interviewed to explore their perceptions of internationalization in colleges and universities. Findings suggest that internationalization is a significant factor that affects students' choice of colleges and universities and is supported by most students. The main theme of students' perceptions of internationalization is "walking out" to know more about different cultures in other countries. Concerns emerge when foreign language competency is insufficient or opposition from parents interferes with students' plans to go abroad. Domestic students might also be afraid that recruiting international students may influence their admission opportunities. Necessity of some practices needs to be considered.Recommendations are proposed for students, higher education sectors, and future researchers.
